Is there no way that our Founders could have written a Second Amendment that would protect me from your infringing my right to keep and bear a full-auto firearm? Besides "shall not be infringed", what should they have written?

If I support amending the Constitution now to restore my rights, how should it be worded? Must I list all barrel lengths protected? Must I list every caliber protected? Must I specifically list all firing modes and firing rates that are allowed?

Is there any way to word a Second Amendment that protects my rights from infringement by a simple majority vote of Congress?

that is a good question....don't know.......does that mean my neighbor can mount an antiaircraft gun in his front yard or own a tank to go hunting.......those are extremes but I guess can be classified as firearms......I'm just saying there are limits and what is up for debate is where they are drawn......don't confuse that with me wholesaleing being anti gun....we may have different limits or wording but I am hardly anti gun......my history of ownership, marksmanship with both battle rifles and assault rifles would speak favorably.....you just don't like my limits but I know those who would own a howitzer or toad missles if you let them....theoretically I agree with you that it says the "not be infringed", but the founding fathers couldn't have imagined alot of things.....
